Claims

CLAIMS

Claims will open on Friday, July 3 in preparation for game start on Friday, July 10, after which they will stay open indefinitely. All applications received after game start should receive a response within 72 hours. There is a character cap of 40 and a cast cap of 6.

Character cap: 24/40

There are no reserves — first come, first served.

In the event of two claims for the same character, preference will always be given to the version played in Balance RP.

Players have 72 hours to submit revisions. If they fail to do so within that time period, their claim will be rejected and they will have to wait 1 week to resubmit their claim.

Each player can have a maximum of two characters. However, if you would like to claim a second character, please check with us here first!

Claims will remain open until the conclusion of the first arc of Imaginary Island, after which time they will close for plot reasons. More concrete dates will be made available as the first arc progresses, but this time frame is anticipated to be about 1.5-2 months (meaning claims will close around the end of August or beginning of September 2020).

Character Information

Name:
Canon:
Canon Point:
Age: Real/apparent.
Balance Import? Yes/no.

History: For original characters that did not participate in Balance RP. All other claims do not need to fill this section out. Please give us an idea of the original world your character is coming from and the events that have led up to this point in their life. Keep this brief; we'd like an absolute maximum of 700 words.

Personality: For original characters that did not participate in Balance RP. All other claims do not need to fill this section out. Please give us a brief idea of what your character is like! No more than a couple of paragraphs are necessary. Feel free to format as bullet points or more formally — it's your choice.

Character ability: If your character has a canon ability that you would like to adapt into the setting, describe it here. You may pick only one canon ability. Gauge whether it is overpowered for the setting and, if so, please describe how you plan to nerf it for the purposes of Island. We may ask for further tweaks if we have concerns about its functionality in-game.

Inventory: List everything your character has on them at arrival on Island. If your character is a Balance import, they can bring everything they had on the Moon Base as long as you list it here. If your character is coming in fresh, they can have one non-magical weapon on hand.

Sample: We'd like to see a sample of any length, as long as you feel it's representative of your character's voice and personality. For Balance Transfers, this is where you can put the link to your old app or a thread from Balance.

Paths

Primary Path: Please list your character's first chosen path.
Secondary Path: Please list your character's second chosen path. If you haven't decided on one yet, write "undecided."
Advanced Path: Please list your character's advanced path, if applicable. If you haven't decided on one yet, write "undecided". If you are opting to max a secondary path instead of taking an advanced path, write "none" or "N/A".

Why these paths?: Let us know in a few sentences why you've chosen the paths you did for your character! How do they fit with the character's personality, or in what interesting ways do they contrast? If you are grandfathering in paths that your character previously had in Balance, you do not need to provide an explanation, but for any new paths we'd like to know your reasoning.

Path Actions: Provide a list of path actions your character will have access to on Island. As a reminder, Balance imports have the opportunity to arrive on Island with all path actions maxed out; if you'd like to take that option, please list all path actions here. New characters will have all primary path actions when they arrive on Island.

Character Information

Name: Michael
Canon: The Good Place
Canon Point: Mid-Season 3
Age: ~13.8 billion / maybe his 60s or so? His actor was 72 at the time but he really doesn't look it
Balance Import? Yes

Character ability: Basically all of Michael's abilities are super overpowered for any reasonable game setting; he can create his own pocket dimension if he likes and is basically all-powerful within it. I thought his Major Illusion from Balance was fun? It's like creating things from nothing, just......not actually doing that.

Inventory: See here! I, uh, I sure did write down all the stuff he got for Candlenights huh

Sample: My Balance app is here!

Paths

Primary Path: Sorcerer
Secondary Path: Paladin
Advanced Path: N/A

Why this path?: That's his character arc, bay-bee! Magic is natural enough to him that Sorcerer makes sense, but his newfound commitment to being a good person is something he has to work hard at. So working to become a Paladin on his own and actually managing it was meaningful to him.

Path Actions: Here again! I updated them based on your path updates already, so.

Sample: Old App

Paths

Primary Path: Barbarian
Secondary Path: Monk
Advanced Path: Vulpish

Why this path?: I had been planning to go with Ninja in Balance and Vulpish seems to be the replacement for that! Essentially I think that it's what Natsuki would think was cool in terms of skills she wanted to have (like a cool manga character!), and the sneakiness of this path will be a great complement to the more brute force stuff she had as a Barbarian.

Path Actions:

Barbarian - All. Her Aura choice is Desert.
Monk - Catch Missiles, Empty Body, Shadow Step, Douse Flames, Observant
Vulpish - Foxgloves (I'd like her to still be new to this Path and earn the rest of them later!)

Character Information

Name: Lion Ushiromiya
Canon: Umineko no Naku Koro ni
Canon Point: End of EP7 Tea Party.
Age: 19 in canon, now... 21...? ?? in Balance.
Balance Import? Ayup.

History/Personality: Axed, as they're an import.

Character ability: As before, Lion will be bringing a snippet of Beatrice's infamous magic, reflected in Balance as a once-a-day use of Major Image.

Inventory: hooboy, they amassed a weird list of shit in balance-
-The standard BIAS, minus... some of the things they never used, like the torches, the pitons, and the crowbar, and instead stuffed full of First Aid Supplies. It's heavy and they're a twig.
- Sawed-off winchester rifle and bullets, as their Initiation reward.
-The "desert-proof" tailored Cleric outfit, since their other one got munched by a shark, and a few other outfits.
-A weird collection of souveniers! A Fantasy Costco (tm) journal, a candy-cane pen, a travel-safe tea set, a single apple's worth of magic seeds, a tin full of tea samplers, a ton of fantasy medical books, and a dinky old camera. They had more, but it got turned into a gift for someone else.
-A golden magatama necklace, from Maya, as well as everything in this comment maya W H Y
-A spellbook (gifted by Leon-the-Artificer), and a shitton of notes about things like the basics of channeling circles, and the Idiot's Guide to Making a Magic Item. They also have the incomplete draft of said item,
-Items from home: Natsuhi's heirloom spirit mirror (non-magical), Maria's diary, Jessica's brass knuckles.
-The Extreme Teen Bible. They kinda hate it.
-The Phantom Fist, which they wear almost constantly.
-And a weird red umbrella that responds to many problems with more fireball.

Sample: Lion's old app. Full of Umineko spoilers, so don't read if you're avoiding those.

Paths

Primary Path: Cleric.
Secondary Path: Wizard.
Advanced Path: Sage.

Why this path?: Grandfathered paths. But it's fun to answer the other two! They chose Wizard on a whim, as they figured they were already stuck on the magic train whether they wanted it or not, so might as well learn it safely. And Sage was a choice in response to Wonderland - after a horror like that, they needed to do more to keep people safe.

Path Actions: Iiiiin ordeeeeer-
Cleric: Maxed out, with a * on Sanctuary.
Wizard: Academic*, Find Familiar, Detect Magic, Thaumaturgy, Levitate.
Sage: Banishment, Raise Dead, Water Walk, Storm Sphere, Stoneskin.

*Sanctuary: Their two choices are "Aberrations" and "Constructs". It's been tweaked further with Academic as referenced here, to make it mobile, able to avoid One Person, and consist entirely of glittery butterflies. Maintaining a brand is Important.

Paths

Primary Path: Warlock
Secondary Path: Cleric
Advanced Path: Sage

Why this path?: Alex's path has been unwilling contractee -> healer -> Better Healer. I wanted to keep with the theme of canon where he's shunted into a role with great power at an incredible sacrifice (Warlock's whole thing), but then give him the opportunity to reclaim some agency (by being able to heal with Cleric at no cost to himself) and truly master the ability to save lives (with Sage).

Path Actions: Otherworldly Patron (Celestial, The Raven Queen), Create Familiar, Pact of the Blade (Adamant Spanner), Pact of the Tome (Fireball), Force Distrust, Necromantic Touch, Eldritch Blast, Darkness, Hideous Laughter, True Strike; Channel Divinity, Cure Wounds, Spare the Dying, Sanctuary*, Prayer of Healing; Banishment, Raise Dead, Water Walk, Storm Sphere, Stoneskin

* Sanctuary's specified creature categories are "Undead" and "Fiends."

everything's always in transition. if you focus, even now, just one week into summer, you can almost feel autumn coming. kinda like being able to see the future.

Canon Point: Near the end of the episode 7 tea party
Age: Apparent age is somewhere in his mid-20s. Real age is up in the multi-thousands.
Balance Import? Yes

Character ability: Sticking to the one I got in balance, Divine Construct, which is a hybrid of Racial Bits and Magic Bits. Deets included in case it needs to be rebalanced for new mods

Racial Bits:
- Pings as Celestial to any skills/magic related to sensing that (like Divine Sense)
- Designate one person as a Master (Master gives magic power to the Piece, in exchange for the Piece's servitude. Gain permanent mental connection akin to Ceremony sans the wounds-sharing part. Use it to boss your piece around cause they cant talk smack)

Magical Bits:
~~- damage dealt to mp bar before hp bar~~
- Does not react to any damage taken up to the limit of whatever magic is powering him (Master if in a Contract, or the Bracer if not)
- Still takes damage and can die from injuries; it's more just Not Dying + resillience.
- All healing is reduced by half. A maximum of 25% of max hp recovered via magic healing per day (ie, only one cleric spell actually works per day, further heals have no effect; anyone using said healing skills can sense that it's Not Working Right)

Tldr, best tank your rpg party will ever have, but has a one week cooldown (because he will probably die for it)

Inventory: Realtalk I am paying for my hubris because I never finished an actual inventory list before Island started so just go off whatevers here and if I forgot to add something then w/e

Sample: bam app

Paths

Primary Path: Paladin
Secondary Path: Warlock
Advanced Path: Dark Knight

Why this path?: A mix of the Silvanus subplot arcing Will into Warlock and Dark Knight being metal as hell. But it still fits in for narrative reasons in the best and worst ways. Physically, Will's body is just a vessel so the magic jar skill is Oh Must Be Tuesday. From the character development side, Will is technically a fallen angel now which always results in Bad Things. Such as, say the Darkside visual affects or the Everything About Blight.

Path Actions: Havent updated my post yet so

Paladin: Yes
Warlock: Otherworldly Patron (Celestial), Pact of the Blade, Force Distrust, True Strike, Pact of the Tome (Wizard/Comprehend Languages)

Paths

Primary Path: Fighter
Secondary Path: Wizard
Advanced Path: Engineer

Why this path?: Fighter aligned best with Wash's skill set and personality upon his initial arrival in Balance. Wizard was an in-character choice, because Wash was determined to deal with his death-penalty-induced fear of magic and sometimes the only way out is through. Engineer was initially chosen because there were limited options for a STR/INT combo and it fit him best, but I'm keeping it because having a path that actually works with the gun-based marksmanship skills Wash has in canon is fantastic.

Path Actions: Fighter: Athletics, Improvised Weapon, Rustic Hospitality, Second Wind, Champion, Devastating Strike, Know Your Enemy, Find Steed, Tavern Brawler, Goading Strike
Wizard: Find Familiar, Fireball, Mage Hand, Detect Magic, Thaumaturgy
Engineer: Trick Shot, Create Bomb, Tinkerer's Tools, Pistol Whip-Shot, Swift Retaliation

Paths

Primary Path: Ranger
Secondary Path: Bard
Advanced Path: Beastmaster

Why this path?: I'm swapping out Dragoon for Beastmaster because I feel it'll suit him just as well and I like the look of the actions available to me. They'll fit in nicely with Ranger because Beast Tamer and Speak with Animals are actions there.

Character Information

Name: Papyrus
Canon: Undertale
Canon Point: true pacifist ending; far enough into it to be driving on a highway in a red sportscar
Age: Skeleton, mid-20s?
Balance Import? no
~~History:~~ n/a
~~Personality:~~ n/a

Character ability: I'd like Papyrus to have a variant of his fellow skeleton's bone magic, without that rapid death effect; Papyrus' bones hit harder and slower than Sans', usually easier to dodge - as he prioritizes showing off with decorative things mid-battle and pulling pranks than being efficiently lethal with them.

Inventory:
Battle body, car key with house key and skull keychain, Mom-prepared lunch, one (1) yellowed lingering bone attack (does not count as a bone for the purposes of animating undead)

Sample:
💀 Recently deceased skeletons avoid talking about serious things, on a train
💀 Offering to bedazzle Frisk's coffin in case of their demise in training with Undyne

Paths

Primary Path: Warlock (patron type undecided)
Secondary Path: 99% set on 1/2 Chemist
Advanced Path: Undecided, I had a plan but now there's more options

Why this path?:
Warlock: Papyrus is an ambitious but somewhat eccentric person, with lofty goals of prestige and popularity, who hasn't reached many of them on his own... But when accompanied by his brother and/or assisted by Flowey's advice, he can find himself a close confidant of - or even taking the role of - the ruler of the underground. The warlock way of seeking power through mutual aid and flattery, with a little bit of servitude toward an entity using him for their own purpose, is a completely canonical state of being for the skeleton. (I am gonna be a nerd and base his patron on Flowey in some way or another)
Chemist: Largely for potion shenanigans that reflect his alarming cooking skills, as with the legendary spaghetti. Also looking forward to taking it in new and exciting directions, like useful tonics, love potions, and even tinctures to temporarily animate an undead friends.

Path Actions (Warlock):
💀 Otherworldly Patron
💀 Create Familiar
💀 Pact of the Blade
💀 Pact of the Tome - (Bard: Prestidigitation)
💀 Force Distrust
💀 Necromantic Touch
💀 Darkness
💀 Eldritch Blast
💀 Hideous Laughter
💀 True Strike

Path Actions (Chemist):
💀 Concoct
💀 Careful Hands
💀 Love Philter
💀 Draught of Undeath
💀 Friends
